How to control a light from one server to another server in light switch example of BLE mesh SDK?

[kishor babu]

I am working on light switch example of BLE mesh SDK.

I am using five nRF52840 boards one for provisioner,one for client and rest for servers.

I am using Segger embedded studio for programming, mesh SDK v2.1.1.

The network is working fine I am able to control the servers from the client.

I want to know whether it is possible to control the light of a server from another sever.

If it is possible I want to know what are the changes needed to be  made and in which examples we need to make the changes.

Could anyone please help in this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you want to use the server to control another server, you will need to integrate the generic on off client model into the server example. You can take a look at the FW located here to see how this is done on the Nordic Thingy:52 board. Make sure to take a look at the Youtube video for instructions too. The FW is updated to work on mesh sdk v2.2.0. I would take a look at the FW & do similar changes to the light switch client & server FW to get this working on the dev kits.

Kind Regards,

Bjørn

Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for the reply.

In my case in light switch example, when we are pressing button1 on client, it will control light on server1, now my doubt is will we able to relay the same control to server2 from server1 when we press buttton1 on the client board?

I am not sure I fully understand. I thought you just wanted to control the light from one server by pushing a button on another server. You can send messages to the group address to change the LED status of multiple servers. This is done by pressing button 3 or 4 on the client. Take a look at the button_event_handler function in the client example code. You can always update the button_event_handler function to do something different than it is doing at the moment.
